Fascinating store; I recently visited for the first time as my mother wanted fabric for some new…read moreprojects. I felt like I walked into 1983; this was clearly an old clothing store at some point and has transitioned to fabrics. It's so colorful and cozy inside with carpet and fabrics all over. They also have an area of sewing machines, there were people working on projects including digital embroidery. Prices are good and charged by the yard. I loved the selection of popular scifi patterns like Star Wars. I docked one star for the odd/rude service we got, at least we could laugh about it later. Their signage and line organization makes zero sense, but you better believe ever customer present got yelled at for not following the signs. Despite this, it's a fun place to buy fabric.

they have decent fabric selection here, that's way overpriced. but what really made me decide to…read morewrite this review is the atrocious customer service. i don't like to leave neg reviews esp for a small local business but honestly i don't know how it's acceptable for the workers to behave that way and treat people so rudely. i guess unless if they own it. i have just never felt so unwelcomed in a place before.

Cute fabric store. They open odd hours like M Th FRi 130-430pm. I would best call beforehand to…read morefind out before going over. Harder to find street parking as it is kind of near main stripe of eatery but also wedged in residential area. The lady was sweet and we chatted. She takes care of her husband so maybe that is why there are limited hours.

Shopping in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I had heard about Calico Cat, the fabric store, but never visited. I think I couldn't figure out where it was located. I happened to park right across the street from Calico Cat... in a metered street parking stall. Carol is the cheerful owner. She saw that I was confused because Every Day Better by Green Meadows is next door to Calico Cat. Carol explained the sign above that shows the name of the shop closest to each shop - depending on which way you face the sign. Ahhh... Calico Cat was described by their neighbor (Every Day Better by Green Meadows) as having fabric "eye candy". LOL! Yes - if you sew, you know that these bolts of material are very beautiful, whimsical, and unique! They are very inspirational and made me want to sew! Of course, I purchased a lot of material... thinking that Christmas is coming... I need to get a head start! Remember to get a Loyalty Card. Carol can hold it in the shop... among the 1000 cards she already has... filed by last name! Thank you for the free pen! I'll be back soon!

I was referred to Casual Hawaii by a couple of very good friends who had recently purchased fabric…read moreface masks. I checked out their website and they had many different patterns and colors available. I placed my order by phone and their customer service was outstanding! They were fast and reliable and I was able to pick up my order the next day. I purchased four fabric face masks from Casual Hawaii that were very well-made. I was told that the thread count was 186 to 205 when doctors are recommending 180 or more. I found that in addition to face masks, they also make aloha shirts, ladies dresses, and much more. Just check out their website and call if you have any questions. They take as much time as you need to help you make your final decision. Strongly recommended! https://casualhawaii.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=77_93

If you ever go to the BF across Kaimuki high school, I highly recommend Lesley for assistance!!! She is very customer oriented. Maybe upon meeting her, let her know that you seen this review and she was recommended. It would brighten her day and I'm pretty sure she'll give great customer service.

Cost is higher but this is a local store and in town so you pay for convenience. Aisles filled with everything from clay, paints, poster boards, yarn, scrapbook materials, wood and everything you can imagine. This is one of those stores you wander the aisles looking at the shelves for interesting hobbies you may want to experience. Always an interesting time walking the aisles to just look and imagine what can be created. Definitely a place to take a look at and just explore that creative part of yourself!

FREE PARKING. That literally made my day knowing I didn't have to find street parking and walking forever! The shop is on the first floor and it appears they moved into a bigger area adjacent to the old (making it a much bigger space. Once you enter you are greeting by the nicest lady (owner). I told her that I was new to her shop and was looking for a mu'umu'u for an upcoming event. She made several suggestions (all so very good)! I was happy since I was clueless other than knowing that I wanted a vintage piece and perhaps a "newer" version as well. I came away with a beautiful Bette in a pink floral as well as another in red and yellow print. I was very pleased with my purchases as well as the help and hospitality from DeStash.

Love this cute little store! Each time I go, I find a treasure!! And the people are sooooooo niceread more

I visited Hawaiian Quilt Collection on my vacation and got to take home a piece of paradise! The…read moreHawaiian quilts, pillow covers, and handbags are beautifully hand stitched, preserving the tradition and elegance of Hawaiian quilting as it began. What I loved about this shop is the quality. These are 100% hand crafted, not cheap souvenirs you find in other places. The friendly employee explained the history of Hawaiian quilting and helped me choose this adorable bag! Every time I see it I think about the hibiscus flowers that I saw all over Waikiki during my stay. I definitely recommend stopping by when you are in Waikiki.

Walked into this specialty store featuring traditional Hawaiian quilts as we were looking for a…read moreBaby Shower gift. Our minds were set to look for a Hawaiian baby blanket or unique fashion accessory for the mother-to-be as the parents-to-be live on the Mainland. We excitedly browsed the store looking at traditional and modern quilt designs and expected that we'd probably end up spending no less than $100 (even with advertised 20% discount) as these quilts are beautifully handmade. Unfortunately, when we asked one of the saleswomen to direct us to their section for baby blankets, she kindly replied they didn't have any and the particular size quilt that I had picked turned out to be meant for wall-hanging. LOL... eh, I should have realized what those hanging tabs on one end of the quilt were for but the size looked "right" for a baby. She nicely directed us to another Hawaiian quilt store located on the opposite side of the Ala Moana Center while telling us that other store would probably have baby blankets and more fashion accessories, in other words, more souvenirs and functional products rather than artwork. Sorry, that we didn't buy anything from this store but they do have beautiful, handmade and one-of-a-kind Hawaiian quilts that represent this art form. They also offer quilting classes if you're interested in learning to make your own.
